about

vulpianorecords.bandcamp.com/album/liquid-forest

To celebrate 2 years on Vulpiano, the first netlabel to feature my music, I went as far back as I could tolerate. This entire EP comes from August to September 2015 just like “Garden” (which I lifted from Mint and Turquoise Trilogy). I made the songs on the FL Studio ‘replica’ LMMS since I couldn’t get Garageband on my old PC. It was “Sea Shell”, “Cold”, and "Garden" that told me, after three years of aimless experiments, maybe my music had potential.

Many things set these songs apart from before. For one, it was a transitional time where I felt both hopeful and a bit unsure, so this fragile sense of hope left a mark; as did my fascination with the 'awakening' feel of the early morning. Sonically though, it was my focus on soft, trickling synth tones (a trademark for LMMS?). For that same trio of songs 2-4, I came across the pentatonic scale semi accidentally and loved it's soul-searching effect.

The result was this shy, secluded atmosphere of 'virtual nature' that may remind of Turquoise Trilogy. I figure my obsession with invoking forested and oceanic terrain began here. I felt I finally found an interesting vibe or sound to focus on, so I stuck with this somewhat for awhile.

"Sea Shell" came first. It was my attempt to stop fiddling with awkward loops and make a piece less reliant on rhythms. 70% improvised, yet it has an unusual amount of focus for this time.

On compiling this I was grateful that I can listen to these songs I made at 14 without finding them a mess - I have stuff from 3 years later I can't stomach anymore :p
